Kathy Hilton has expressed no interest in becoming a full-time cast member on “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (RHOBH), despite the fact that both of her sisters, including the long-standing Kyle Richards, have taken on full-time roles. Hilton seems content in her current position as a “friend of” on the show, emphasizing that she enjoys her limited involvement and the fun it brings her.
During her tenure on the show, Kathy has made a lasting impression, even with her sporadic appearances. Notable moments from Season 14 include her unexpected collision with a model during Sutton Stracke’s fashion show and her amusingly oblivious remarks regarding the tension between Sutton and co-star Dorit Kemsley. These moments showcase her unique ability to bring lightheartedness to the series, reminiscent of her infamous reaction during a dramatic incident in Aspen from Season 12, which Lisa Rinna attributed to a misunderstanding over a Michael Jackson song.
Kathy reaffirmed her preference for her current role during a recent QVC event, stating, “No, no, no,” when asked about going full-time. She enjoys the flexibility and the fun aspects of her current role, appreciating the chance to engage with the drama without being fully immersed in it. Fellow cast member Jennifer Tilly echoed this sentiment, highlighting the benefits of not being deeply involved in the ongoing drama of the show.
For fans of the series, Kathy’s decision not to take on a full-time role may be seen as a refreshing approach, allowing her to remain a beloved figure without the pressures of a lead role. As RHOBH continues to captivate audiences, viewers can still enjoy Kathy’s contributions to the show.
It’s clear that Kathy Hilton knows how to keep her audience entertained without being at the center of the storm, a strategy that may well keep her fan base engaged and eager for her periodic appearances on the show.
